Steve Kean has quit his post as Blackburn manager after two torrid years in charge.

Kean said he was forced to resign due to his position becoming untenable at the club.

"For reasons I cannot discuss on legal advice, it is with deep regret, given my hard work and service for the club for a number of years that I have been forced to resign as manager with immediate effect due to my position as team manager becoming untenable," said Kean in a statement.
